Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing a passbook printing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The passbook printing apparatus 1 includes a passbook take-in unit 4 as an extraction unit. A plurality of passbooks T are stacked and set in the passbook take-in unit 4 in a closed state, and are taken in one by one. It is like that. The taken passbooks T are transported along a transport path 3 by a plurality of transport roller pairs 2. A first OCR reading unit 5 serving as a first reading unit, a page turning device 6 according to the present invention, a direct printing unit 7 and an intermediate transfer serving as a printing unit are arranged in the conveyance path 3 along the conveyance direction of the passbook T. A printing unit 8, a second OCR reading unit 9 as a second reading unit, a passbook folding unit 14, and a wireless IC R / W unit 10 as a wireless information processing unit are arranged.

  Further, a discharge gate 11 for switching the discharge direction of the passbooks T between the first direction and the second direction is provided on the discharge end side of the transport path 3, and normal passbooks T are accumulated in the first direction. A normal bankbook stacking unit 12 and a defective bankbook stacking unit 13 for stacking defective bankbooks in the second direction are arranged.

  The above-mentioned passbook type take-in unit 4 can input a plurality of passbooks T in an overlapped manner, and only the lowermost one is taken out by a picker (not shown) as a take-out means in accordance with an instruction from the control unit. Then, it is taken in the direction of the first OCR reading unit 5.

  The first OCR reading unit 5 recognizes a passbook unique number (described later) assigned to the passbook T from which a necessary page is opened by the adjacent page turning device 6 from the beginning by using the OCR. The passbook unique number is expressed in characters in a certain area as will be described later. Alphanumeric characters are used here.

  The page turning device 6 has a function of turning the cover of the passbook T fetched from the passbook taking-in section 4 and turning the inner paper inside as described in detail later. The turned pages are recognized by reading a bar mark printed on the passbook T from the beginning with a bar mark reader (not shown).

  The direct printing unit 7 presses the ink ribbon 7b and the thermal head 7a in this order on the printing page surface of the passbook T to be printed, and the thermal head 7a selectively generates heat to print images and characters. In this embodiment, information having a lower security level than that printed by the intermediate transfer printing unit 8 is directly printed by the printing unit 7.

  Note that not all passbooks T are printed directly by the printing unit 7, and the pages printed by the direct printing unit 7 are different from the pages printed by the intermediate transfer printing unit 8. For this reason, when printing in the direct printing unit 7 occurs, the page to be printed is first turned out by the page turning device 6 and then directly printed, and then conveyed to the page turning device 6 again to perform intermediate transfer printing. Strike out the page. When there is no information printed by the direct printing unit 7, the passbook T passes directly through the printing unit 7.

  FIG. 2 shows the intermediate transfer printing unit 8 described above.

  The intermediate transfer printing unit 8 is functionally configured to include an information printing unit (hereinafter referred to as a printing unit) 16 and an overcoat transfer unit (hereinafter referred to as a transfer unit) 17.

  As the printing unit 16, a thermal melt transfer printing method is adopted. That is, the molten ink ribbon 22 and the intermediate transfer film 21 are disposed so as to be sandwiched between the thermal head 19 and the platen roller 20, and the ink of the molten ink ribbon 22 is transferred to the surface of the intermediate transfer film 21 by the thermal head 19. Etc.

  Features of this hot melt transfer method include high image durability and relatively easy application of functional materials to ink materials (eg fluorescent pigments, aluminum vapor-deposited thin films). Suitable for printed materials.

  The base film thickness and ink layer thickness of the molten ink ribbon 22 are extremely important parameters for print dot reproducibility, and the ink ribbon layer thickness is 3 to 25 μm, preferably 4 to 10 μm.

  On the other hand, the thickness of the base film described later of the intermediate transfer film 21 and the image receiving / adhesive layer thickness are parameters that affect the adhesion and film-breaking properties, and the layer thickness of the intermediate transfer film 21 is 10 to 100 μm. The thickness is preferably 25 to 50 μm.

  The platen roller 20 is a roller using a hard rubber material on the surface, and the reproducibility of minute dots improves as the rubber hardness increases, but at the same time, it is difficult to obtain the optimum positional relationship between the platen roller 20 and the thermal head 19. Become. For this reason, hardness is 75 degrees or more, desirably 85 to 97 degrees. At the same time, the surface roughness of the rubber surface polished also improves the reproducibility of minute dots as the surface smoothness increases. For this reason, the surface roughness is required to be about 1 μm or less, preferably about 0.5 μm, as the center line average roughness Ra.

  In general, the driving force for conveying the intermediate transfer film 21 is often provided with a driving mechanism on the platen roller 20, but the friction coefficient between the intermediate transfer film 21 and the platen roller 20 does not increase due to the hardness and smoothness described above. Not stable. For this reason, a film driving roller 23 is separately provided immediately downstream (on the heat roller side) of the platen roller 20. The film driving roller 23 is a roller having a hardness of 30 to 60 degrees, and the intermediate transfer film 21 should have a winding angle as large as possible with respect to the film driving roller 23. In the embodiment, the tensioner 24 is arranged so as to obtain a winding angle of 90 ° to 130 °.

  The tensioner 24 is provided with a spring mechanism (not shown), and tension is applied to the intermediate transfer film 21 within a limited movable range so that the film driving roller 23 and the intermediate transfer film 21 are always in proper contact with each other. The film drive roller 23 is accurately conveyed by a combination of a five-phase stepping motor, a timing belt, and a speed reduction mechanism using a pulley. The thermal head 19 is preferably a near-edge or corner-edge type head, and it is desirable to perform printing by peeling when heated.

  In addition, the transfer unit 17 includes a heat roller 35 and a backup roller 36 that are disposed to face each other via the bankbook transport path 3. The heat roller 35 can be accurately driven at a constant speed by a DC servo motor or a stepping motor, and a pressure generated by a coil spring 37 is applied between the heat roller 35 and a rotatable backup roller 36. .

  3A to 3C are cross-sectional views showing the configuration of the intermediate transfer film 21. FIG.

  The passbook T has a cover Ta, and a plurality of intermediate sheets Tn are bound to the cover Ta via a stitch portion Tt. A passbook unique number 42 as passbook specific information is recorded on the inner paper Tn, and a wireless IC 43 is provided.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a drive control system of the passbook printing apparatus 1 described above.

  In the figure, reference numeral 51 denotes a data input control unit, to which the printing apparatus 1 is connected. The data input control unit 51 is provided with a main control unit 52, and a memory 53, an interface unit 54, an operation panel 55, and an image input unit 56 are connected to the main control unit 52 through a control circuit.

  The printing apparatus 1 is provided with a device control unit 58 that includes a generation unit 58a as a generation unit and a determination unit 58b as a determination unit. The device control unit 58 directly prints an image via a control circuit. A processing unit 67, an intermediate transfer image processing unit 68, a heater temperature control unit 60, a passbook conveyance control unit 61, an image formation control unit 62, an optical character recognition unit 69, and a wireless reading / writing unit 73 are provided. .

A head controller 64 that controls the printing operation of the thermal head 19 is connected to the intermediate transfer image processor 66.

  The heater 65 of the heat roller 35 is connected to the heater temperature control unit 60 through a control circuit. A passbook transport mechanism 2A, a passbook capture mechanism 4a, a page detector 6b, a page turning mechanism 6a, and a discharge gate controller 11a are connected to the passbook transport controller 61 through a control circuit.

  A transfer ribbon transport mechanism 32a, a head moving mechanism 19a for moving the thermal head 19 and a rotating mechanism 35a for rotating the heat roller 35 are connected to the image forming control unit 62 through a control circuit.

  First and second reading optical systems 5 and 9 are connected to the optical character recognition unit 69. The wireless IC read / write unit 73 is connected to the wireless IC R / W unit 10.

  Next, the operation of the passbook printing apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.

  First, one passbook T is taken out from the passbook take-in section 4 shown in FIG. 1 and conveyed to the page turning device 6. Here, a cover Ta of the passbook T is turned as described later and given a predetermined number. The page is open. Thereafter, the unique information 42 given to each passbook T is read by the first OCR reading unit 5. The unique information 42 (characters in this case) of the passbook T read by the first OCR reading unit 5 is recognized by the optical character recognition unit 69, and the recognition result is transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58.

  On the other hand, the color face image data of the owner acquired by the image input unit 56 and the security character information of the owner input by the operation panel 55 are transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58.

  Print data is generated by the generation unit 58 a based on the color face image data of the owner transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58, the security character information of the owner, and the passbook unique information, and is transmitted to the intermediate transfer image processing unit 68. Is done.

  In the intermediate transfer image processing unit 68, the thermal head 19 is operated based on the print data to superimpose four colors of black ink in addition to the three primary colors of Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan). The face image of the holder is color printed on the surface of the intermediate transfer film 21. Printing by superimposing these plural colors of ink is performed by the intermediate transfer film 21 reciprocating the thermal head 19 as many times as the number of ink colors. In addition, the information to be printed is a reverse image. In addition to the above four colors of ink, a functional ink such as an ink containing a fluorescent pigment may be applied as the printing color.

  After the color printing of the face image of the owner, the security information with the passbook specific information is printed on the surface of the intermediate transfer film 21 by the thermal head 19.

  Thus, the intermediate transfer film 21 on which the color face image and the security information with the passbook specific information printed are wound in the forward direction (the direction of the heat roller 35), and the path as shown in FIG. The position of the intermediate transfer film 21 is grasped by the transfer portion mark detection sensor 39 on the way. Based on this grasping result, the intermediate transfer film 21 is sent to the transfer start position.

  At this time, the passbook T is taken in as shown in FIG. 6B in a state where the page to be transferred is opened, and conveyed to a predetermined position with respect to the heat roller 35. The page to be transferred may be a cover-back page or another medium page.

  The corresponding pages of the intermediate transfer film 21 and the passbook T thus positioned with each other are rotated together with the rotation of the metal heat roller 35 having a shape in which a part of the circumference is notched as shown in FIG. Combined, pressurized and heated at the same time as transport. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the transfer film base 26 is pulled up at an angle of 60 ° to 110 ° with respect to the passbook T, and the transfer of the unique print information and the image receiving / adhesive layer 29 and the hologram layer 28 is completed. As shown in FIG. 8, the security information 46 made up of numbers, characters, symbols, barcodes, etc. and the color face image 44 of the owner are transferred, including those in which the unique information 42a is transferred. The passbook T for which the transfer has been completed is conveyed to the next second OCR reading unit 9 with the page being opened as shown in FIG.

  The second OCR reading unit 9 reads the passbook unique information 42a and the security information 46. The read passbook unique information 42 a and the security information 46 are recognized by the optical character recognition unit 69, and the recognition result is transmitted to the printing apparatus control unit 58. In the printing apparatus control unit 58, data discrimination processing is performed by the determination unit 58 b and the determined result is transmitted to the booklet conveyance control unit 61.

  If it is determined that the data collation result in the determination unit 58b is defective, the created passbook is not good for the data input control unit 50 and the wireless IC reading / writing unit 73 from the printing apparatus control unit 58. Notify that.

  The data input control unit 50 transmits the same print processing command to the printing apparatus control unit 58 again based on receiving the notification that the created passbooks are defective, and automatically recreates the passbooks. Let it be done.

  The passbooks T that have passed through the second OCR reading unit 9 are sent to the folding unit 14, folded, and then sent to the wireless IC R / W unit 10. If the bankbook is defective, the wireless IC R / W unit 10 records data indicating that the bankbook is defective in the wireless IC 43 of the bankbook T.

  On the other hand, when the collation result of the data read by the second OCR reading unit 9 is correct, the recording data to the wireless IC 43 is generated based on the print data generated by the generation unit 58a of the printing apparatus control unit 58. To the wireless IC R / W control unit 73. Based on this transmission, the security information provided with the passbook-specific information by the wireless ICR / W unit 10 is recorded (written) in the wireless IC 43 of the book T.

  In the wireless ICR / W unit 10, normal passbooks in which information is recorded in the wireless IC 43 are discharged to the normal passbook stacking unit 12 by the operation of the discharge gate 11, and defective passbooks are discharged to the defective passbook type stacking unit 13. Each is accumulated.

  By the way, the page turning device 6 described above is configured as shown in FIG.

  The page turning device 6 includes a first conveying roller pair 2a, 2b and a second conveying roller pair 2c, 2d as conveying means disposed at a predetermined interval in the conveying direction of the bankbook T, A first conveyance guide plate 81a and a second conveyance guide plate 81b are provided.

  The upper and lower first and second transport roller pairs 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d can be driven to rotate both vertically and the lower transport rollers 2b and 2d are biased by a spring (not shown). As a result, a pinch force is generated and the bankbook T is conveyed. The first and second transport roller pairs 2 a, 2 b, 2 c, 2 d are rotated by driving of the third drive motor 90. The first and second conveyance guide plates 81a and 81b are arranged around the first and second conveyance rollers 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d, and restrict the movement of the passbook T.

  Further, between the first conveyance roller pair 2a, 2b and the second conveyance roller pair 2c, 2d, a turning roller 82 and a push-up guide 83 as a push-up means (curving means) are disposed. The turning roller 82 is rotatably attached to the upper end portion of the roller arm 84 in the forward and reverse directions, and the lower end portion thereof is supported by the support shaft 85 so as to be swingable.

  The roller arm 84 is swung by forward and reverse rotation of a first drive motor 88 as drive means, and the swung position can be arbitrarily set as long as it is within a movable range. The push-up guide 83 is swingable coaxially with the rotation center of the roller arm 84, and the swing position can be set independently of the roller arm 84 by the fourth drive motor 91. The turning roller 82 is rotated in the forward / reverse direction by the forward / reverse rotation of the second drive motor 89.

  The first to fourth drive motors 88 to 91 are connected to the main control unit 92 via the first to fourth control units 111 to 114, and the main control unit 92 is connected to the operation unit via a transmission circuit. 94, a flip detection sensor 95 and a swell detection sensor 96 as detection means, and a passbook trailing edge detection sensor 97 are also connected.

  The operation unit 94 inputs the rigidity of the passbook T or the friction coefficient of the surface of the cover Ta of the passbook T to the control unit 92. The flip detection sensor 95 detects the leading end of the cover Ta of the passbook T that is flipped by the turning roller 82, and the bulge detection sensor 96 detects the passbook T that is pushed up and curves, and the passbook trailing edge detection sensor. 97 is for detecting the rear end position of the passbook T sent to the turn-over position 106.

  The main control unit 92 controls the first to fourth control units 111 to 114 based on input information from the operation unit 94 and detection information of the flip detection sensor 95, the bulge detection sensor 96, and the passbook trailing edge detection sensor 97. The operation of the first to fourth drive motors 88 to 91 is controlled through this, whereby the rotation of the roller arm 84, the rotation of the turning roller 82, the rotation of the conveying roller pair 2a to 2d, and the rotation of the push-up guide 83 are controlled. The moving angle is controlled.

  That is, the rotation angle of the push-up guide 83 is variably controlled according to the rigidity of the passbook T by the fourth control unit 114 as a push-up control means (bending control means).

  For example, when the passbook T has normal rigidity, as shown in FIG. 10A, the push-up guide 83 is rotated about 45 degrees to push up the passbook T, and the passbook T has low rigidity. As shown in FIG. 10B, when the push-up guide 83 is rotated by approximately 80 degrees to increase the push-up amount of the passbooks T, on the contrary, when the passbooks T are highly rigid, As shown in c), the push-up guide 83 is rotated approximately 30 degrees to reduce the push-up amount of the bankbook T. As a result, the pressing force of the passbook T against the turning roller 82 can be made constant regardless of the rigidity of the passbook T.

  The rotation of the turning roller 82 is controlled by the second control unit 112 as a rotation control unit. That is, the rotation is stopped based on the detection of the tip of the cover sheet Ta that is flipped by the rotation of the turning roller 82 by the flip detection sensor 95.

  Furthermore, the conveyance of the bankbooks T is controlled by a third control unit 113 as a conveyance control unit.

  Next, the page turning operation of the page turning device 6 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the passbook T taken out from the passbook take-in portion 4 is sent to the page turning device 6, and as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the first T-roller pair 2a, 2b causes the stitch portion Tt. It is nipped and conveyed from right to left with the end opposite to the tip. When the passbook T is sent to the turning position 106 by this transport and the rear end in the transport direction is detected by the rear end detection sensor 97, the rotation of the first transport roller pair 2a, 2b is stopped based on this detection. Thus, the conveyance of the bankbook T is stopped. After that, as shown in FIG. 11B, the push-up guide 83 and the turning roller arm 84 are rotated. The passbook T is pushed up and curved by the rotation of the push-up guide 83 and is pressed against the turning roller 82. At this time, the rotation amount of the push-up guide 83, that is, the push-up amount of the passbook T is controlled according to the rigidity of the passbook T, and the passbook T is pressed against the turning roller 82 with a constant pressing force. Thereafter, the turning roller 82 is rotated in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 11C, and the turning of the cover sheet Ta is started and curved. When the upper end side of the cover sheet Ta is detected by the bulge detection sensor 96 due to the curvature of the cover sheet Ta, the roller arm 84 is rotated leftward as shown in FIG. 11D to push up the cover sheet Ta. From this state, the turning roller 82 is further rotated as shown in FIG. 12A to lift the front end of the cover Ta, and finally the front end of the cover Ta is flipped as shown in FIG. 12B. Get on the roller 82. The tip of the flipped cover Ta is detected by the flip detection sensor 95, and the rotation of the turning roller 82 is stopped based on this detection. After the rotation is stopped, when the roller arm 84 is rotated to bring the roller arm 84 into a vertical state as shown in FIG. At this time, the pair of conveying rollers 2a to 2d is rotated to convey the bankbook T, and the cover sheet Ta receives the force in the counter-conveying direction by the turning roller 82, and the cover sheet Ta is bound as shown in FIG. Opening around Tt ends the beat.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the push-up amount of the passbooks T by the push-up guide 83 is controlled according to the rigidity of the passbooks T. The passbook T can be pressed against the turning roller 82 by the pressing force.

  Accordingly, the pressing force of the passbook T against the turning roller 82 is too strong, so that the passbook powder and roller powder are not generated, the wireless IC 43 is not damaged, and the page turning is too weak. There is no fear that it will not be possible.

  Further, since the rotation of the turning roller 82 is stopped at the same time when the leading edge of the page flipped by the turning roller 82 is detected, the turning roller 82 and the page of the passbook T are not rubbed unnecessarily. Occurrence can also be prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, the push-up amount of the passbook T by the push-up guide 83 is variably controlled depending on the rigidity of the passbook T. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the friction coefficient of the cover surface of the passbook T Accordingly, the push-up amount of the passbook T by the push-up guide 83 may be variably controlled.

  According to this, even for passbooks having different friction coefficients, a constant frictional force can be generated between the turning roller 82 without changing the material of the turning roller 82, and the cover Ta can be used. I can speak reliably.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the gist thereof.
